High school generally seems to be better than middle school, for some odd reason. My private school high school was very drama free, I loved it. Though maybe I just managed to stay oblivious of the drama. I'm very good at smiling and nodding and tuning such things out, apparently.

Pretty damn much. That was teethgrindingly stupid of Geraldo, on about five different levels. She said, pulling her hoodie around her because it's freezing in this damn building. It's a hooded sweatshirt. A fairly ubiquitous piece of clothing in this country.

You know, I actually don't know? Never having been to Ireland. Friends of mine could probably say, but I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a stereotype, really. I wonder where it comes from, though, now that I think about it.
